Okay, fine, get rid of catchup for premium, I'll give you less money since I lost features to the readers library existing. Really pissed that catch-up was REPLACED by it and my premium membership doesn't include it. Honestly was tempted to just cancel altogether but then I'd have to either pay way more in the end or pirate your content so I might as well "downgrade" my membership to something I actually get a better value for. No the 799 coins doesn't remotely make up for removing catch-up or come close to comparing to the readers library. Won't forget anytime soon and definitely more open to going over to a competitor should one appear after this because I don't even know how to get across how much this pissed me off.

@Rahul-Balaggan I think this wasn't clear in the blog page where the new subscription details were updated. I thought renewal would be possible only with an upgrade to new premium. This does change how I would have handled my subscription. I am actually mildly annoyed with this "hidden" detail.

In any case, please add this detail explicitly to the subscription explanation page.

@myskaros said in What country is JNC localizing for?:

For spelling and punctuation, American English standards. For word choice and phrases, depending on the series or setting or characters the localization team can request exceptions to use British English or other dialects.

Hellsing dub versions would have been all wrong with American accents :)

@wanderer_1204 Hello!

Happy to answer.

To be direct, I have had no time at all to update the list since May 30, 2024. There really is no other reason beyond that.

As for Dahlia V11. It has not released yet. I know you were looking to pre-order so I know you know. Since it has not released. I do not know what bonus it will have if any.

Apologies, but it may be best to wait until it releases.

@KanjiTatsumiSoT

Hello,

Thank you for pointing this out. A new file has been sent to all stores. The new updated file has the missing text.

While the ePub sold on J-Novel Club is available now. All other stores will take several business days to update the files.

Please try checking again next week for the update.

Thank you, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

@Serah that's applicable in a limited number of cases, and if the series is ongoing, you have no guarantee that quality won't go up again later. Of course there are cases where the author screwed up so badly that the plot and the characters can be saved anymore...but then we are becoming even more restrictive in the criteria. And at that point, I don't think it would make a difference.
Then, again, there is the matter of tastes. I'm currently reading Pens down, swords up volume 3 and I find it a chore...which obviously doesn't mean the book is objectively bad, but a list of series that went downhill made by me, you or yhe JNC editors is not necessarily the same.

The manga reader is now loading for me in Firefox. Thank you!!!

I've tested this on Fedora Firefox and on (an ancient) MacOS. It was flawless. I'll continue testing for a while with differernt settings, BUT I no longer need to turn off privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config to make this work.

So nice... I just open manga and read. :-)

With a new anime season it would be a good time to license this. Considering there are other popular licensed other world cooking type series this might have a good chance.

Hello,

Thank you for letting us know. This seems to be an issue with Google Play. It has affected more than this one title.

We have reached out, and will get it corrected as soon as we are able.

@unclerupee J-Novel Club is primarily a digital publisher, so most of the series they publish don't have physical releases.
